Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 The implementation environment of the vehicle seat control method provided for the embodiment of the present application may include a terminal 110 and a controller 120. The controller 120 is arranged on the vehicle seat, and the vehicle seat control method provided by the present application is executed on the controller 120 to control the airbag device and the vibration device. Among them, the terminal 110 may be, but is not limited to, other user devices (not shown in the figure) that establish a communication connection with the controller 120. The terminal 110 and the controller 120 are connected via a network.

[0034] Optionally, in this embodiment, the terminal 110 may be a control panel of a vehicle seat, a large vehicle control screen, a mobile phone or a remote control. The network connection may include but is not limited to: a wired network, a wireless network, wherein the wired network includes: a local area network, a metropolitan area network and a wide area network, and the wireless network includes: Bluetooth, WIFI and other networks that implement wireless communication.

[0035] The terminal 110 receives the massage instruction input by the user, and sends the massage instruction to the controller 120. The controller 120 executes the control method of the vehicle seat of the present application in response to the massage instruction.

[0036] Optionally, the controller 120 is integrated with a first program, a second program and a parent program. The first program is used to control the airbag device, which includes a plurality of airbags, also known as airbags. The airbags provide compression massage by inflation and deflation. The airbags are usually distributed in various parts of the seat body of the massage chair, such as the legs, arms and back. The inflation and deflation of the airbags are controlled by the motor. By modifying the first program, the air valve can be controlled to adjust the pressure of the airbag to play a massage role. The second program is used to control the vibration device, which includes: a vibration motor and a vibrator. The vibration motor drives the vibrator to vibrate rapidly, thereby relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation. The intensity and frequency of the vibration can be adjusted by the second program to play a tapping role. The parent program plays the role of information forwarding between the first program and the second program, so that the first program and the second program work together. Since the first program and the second program control the airbag device and the vibration device respectively, when the control program of the airbag device or the vibration device is subsequently modified, only the control program needs to be modified in a targeted manner.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 The control method of the vehicle seat is applied to the vehicle seat, which comprises a seat body, an airbag device and a vibration device, wherein the airbag device and the vibration device are arranged in the seat body, the airbag device comprises: a plurality of airbags; the vibration device comprises: a plurality of vibrators, each airbag is connected to a vibrator, Figure 2 The methods include: Step 110 , in response to the massage instruction, determining a target massage function from a plurality of preset massage functions.

[0038] The massage instruction can be a target massage function selected by the user from a plurality of preset massage functions. The massage instruction can also be a personalized demand instruction proposed by the user for the massage process, and the personalized demand instruction includes specific massage-related parameters. Among them, the personalized demand instruction obtains the target massage function by calling the preset massage function and modifying the working parameters of the preset massage function. The preset massage functions include but are not limited to the tapping function, kneading function, pressing function and gentle function. Each function corresponds to a different air bag movement timing, air bag massage intensity, vibrator movement timing, vibrator vibration intensity, and the coordinated interaction between the vibrator and the air bag. A variety of preset massage functions can be combined with each other to provide a variety of massage functions. Among them, the tapping function simulates the tapping in massage according to the vibration of the vibrator by controlling the vibration frequency of the vibrator of the vibration device. The kneading function controls the pressure of the air bag by controlling the air valve of the air bag, and simulates the kneading in massage according to the pressure on the human body after the air bag is inflated. Vibration massage generates mechanical vibration through electric or electro-hydraulic principles, provides vibration massage function, and helps relax muscles. The frequency modulation function can adjust the vibration frequency to provide massage effects of different intensities. The programmable function can set multiple vibration functions to meet different massage needs.

[0039] Step 120, according to the target massage function, determine the first massage function of the air bag device and the second massage function of the vibration device, as well as the coordination relationship between the air bag device and the vibration device, the working parameters of the first massage function at least include: the first switching timing of the multiple air bags, the inflation mode of each air bag, and the working parameters of the second massage function at least include: the vibration frequency of the vibrator.

[0040] The above preset massage function is subdivided into a first massage function and a second massage function. The first massage function is realized by an air bag device, and the second massage function is realized by a vibration device. The air bag device and the vibration device can work together. The preset massage function also includes a music therapy function. The music therapy function provides deep therapy to the user based on therapeutic music combined with a variety of preset massage functions.

[0041] The working parameters of the preset massage function include at least: target massage intensity and the first switch timing of the air bag. Optionally, the first massage intensity corresponding to the air bag and the second massage intensity corresponding to the vibrator are determined by the target massage intensity. The first massage intensity is achieved by deflating and inflating the air bag. The longer the inflation time, the more gas in the air bag, and the greater the massage pressure on the user. The second massage intensity is achieved by controlling the vibration intensity of the vibrator. The higher the vibration frequency and the longer the vibration time, the greater the second massage intensity.

[0042] The first massage function usually refers to a variety of functions such as kneading and rolling. The first massage function is usually achieved by an air bag, which can be inflated and deflated during the massage process, simulating the compression and release of human muscles during massage, thereby enhancing the massage effect. The air bag moves along a preset trajectory according to the preset first switch timing to provide a deep massage effect.

[0043] The working parameters of the first massage function at least include: the first switching timing of the plurality of air bags, the inflation mode of each air bag, the first start signal and the first shut-down signal of the plurality of air bags are determined by the first switching timing, the inflation signal and the deflation signal of each air bag are determined by the inflation mode, the inflation signal and the deflation signal are used to control the inflation time of the air bag, and the inflation pressure of the air bag is changed by changing the inflation time. The air bag device is driven by the first start signal, the first shut-down signal, the inflation signal and the deflation signal to complete the first massage function.

[0044] An example diagram of the first switching sequence is shown in Figure 3 shown. Figure 3 An airbag device includes: airbag 1, airbag 2, airbag 3, airbag 4, airbag 5, airbag 6, airbag 7, airbag 8 and airbag 9. Optionally, the first switch timing sequence starts from airbag 1, airbag 2, airbag 3, airbag 4, airbag 5, airbag 6, airbag 7, airbag 8 and airbag 9. After the airbag is started, the airbag is turned off according to the preset interval time. The first switch timing sequence can also be as follows Figure 3 The dotted line shown is Figure 3 The first switch timing sequence includes: opening airbag 3, airbag 2, airbag 1, airbag 6, airbag 7, airbag 8 and airbag 9 in sequence.

[0045] The second massage function usually refers to the tapping function of the vibration device, which is usually driven by a motor built into the vibration device, and simulates the finger tapping function through a mechanical device. This function can effectively relieve muscle tension and fatigue. The vibration device generates mechanical vibrations through electric or electro-hydraulic principles to provide a vibration massage function to help relax muscles. The vibration device can adjust the vibration frequency to provide tapping effects of different intensities. The vibration device can synchronize the air bag device. For example, when the tapping function is activated, the air bag can be properly inflated to provide additional support and cushioning.

[0046] The working parameters of the second massage function include at least: vibration frequency. Vibration frequency refers to the number of times a vibrating object completes vibrations per unit time, usually expressed in Hertz (Hz). For example, if a vibrating object vibrates 100 times per second, then its vibration frequency is 100 Hz. In a vibration device, the vibration frequency is usually between several thousand and tens of thousands of times per minute. For example, the vibration frequency of a vibrator ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 times per minute.

[0047] When the vibration device works alone, the vibrator only needs to vibrate according to the vibration signal. When the vibration device and the air bag device work together, the vibration device also needs to generate a second switch timing according to the matching relationship, generate a second start signal and a second shut-down signal for multiple vibrators through the second switch timing, and drive the vibrator through the second start signal and the second shut-down signal, so that the vibrator and the air bag work together to complete the target massage function.

[0048] Step 130 , based on the matching relationship, determining the target vibrator corresponding to each air bag from the multiple vibrators, and the activation sequence between each air bag and the target vibrator.

[0049] The coordination relationship between the vibrator in the vibration device and the airbag in the airbag device can be combined in various ways according to different application requirements and designs. The combination methods include: multiple vibrators working alone, multiple airbags working alone, and multiple vibrators and airbags working together. Among them, the coordinated work is determined by the start-up sequence between the airbag and the target vibrator, and the start-up sequence includes the airbag and the target vibrator working at the same time, or the airbag and the target vibrator working one after another.

[0050] In this embodiment, one vibrator corresponds to one air bag, or one vibrator corresponds to multiple air bags. Figure 3 The bags and oscillators in the equation are in one-to-one correspondence ( Figure 3 The middle vibrator is set on the back of the air bag, not shown). Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The airbags and vibrators in the figure can be in a one-to-many relationship, and one vibrator can control multiple airbags, as shown in the figure, including vibrator 410, vibrator 420, vibrator 430 and vibrator 440. Among them, vibrator 410 can control airbag 1, airbag 2, airbag 4 and airbag 5, and vibrator 410 can control airbag 1, airbag 2, airbag 4 and airbag 5. Vibrator 40 can control airbag 2, airbag 3, airbag 5 and airbag 6, vibrator 430 can control airbag 4, airbag 5, airbag 7 and airbag 8, and vibrator 440 can control airbag 5, airbag 6, airbag 8 and airbag 9. The vibrator corresponding to the airbag is determined according to the corresponding relationship. After determining the switching timing of the airbag, the corresponding vibrator can be started in sequence according to the corresponding relationship.

[0051] Step 140 , determining a second switching sequence of the plurality of vibrators according to the target vibrator, the first switching sequence and the start-up sequence.

[0052] The second switching sequence includes: the on time and the off time of each vibrator. Starting the vibrator according to the second switching sequence includes: starting the vibrator in sequence according to the on time of each vibrator, and closing the vibrator in sequence according to the off time of each vibrator.

[0053] In one embodiment, the startup sequence is a sequence of precedence, and the second switching sequence of multiple vibrators is determined according to the target vibrator, the first switching timing and the startup sequence, including: determining the startup interval and the shutdown interval of the target vibrator and the airbag according to the sequence of precedence; determining the first startup moment and the first shutdown moment of the airbag according to the first switching timing; determining the target vibrator of the airbag, generating the second startup moment of the target vibrator based on the startup interval and the first startup moment, and generating the second shutdown moment of the target vibrator based on the shutdown interval and the first shutdown moment; generating the second switching timing based on the second startup moment and the second shutdown moment.

[0054] In this embodiment, the sequence of the target vibrator and the airbag is determined by the start interval and the closing interval. When the airbag interval is positive, the airbag is opened before the target vibrator, and the first start time plus the start interval is obtained to obtain the second start time. When the airbag interval is negative, the airbag is opened after the target vibrator, and the first start time plus the start interval is obtained to obtain the second start time. When the airbag interval is positive, the airbag is closed before the target vibrator, and the first closing time plus the closing interval is obtained to obtain the second closing time. When the airbag interval is negative, the airbag is opened after the target vibrator, and the first closing time plus the closing interval is obtained to obtain the second closing time.

[0055] In one embodiment, the startup sequence is a same-frequency sequence, and the second switching timing of multiple vibrators is determined according to the target vibrator, the first switching timing and the startup sequence, including: determining the first startup moment and the first closing moment of the airbag according to the first switching timing; determining the target vibrator of the airbag, generating the second startup moment and the second closing moment of the target vibrator, the first startup moment and the second startup moment are the same, and the first closing moment and the second closing moment are the same; generating the second switching timing according to the second startup moment and the second closing moment of the target vibrator.

[0056] In this embodiment, the airbag and the target vibrator are activated and deactivated at the same time by generating a second switching timing sequence that is the same as the first switching timing sequence.

[0057] Step 150, driving the air bag device based on the first switch timing and the inflation mode, and driving the vibration device based on the second switch timing and the vibration frequency, so that the air bag device and the vibration device cooperate to achieve the target massage function.

[0058] The first start signal and the first shut-down signal of the multiple air bags are determined by the first switch timing, and the inflation signal and the deflation signal of each air bag are determined by the inflation mode. The inflation signal and the deflation signal are used to control the inflation time of the air bag, and the inflation pressure of the air bag is changed by changing the inflation time. The air bag device is driven to complete the first massage function by the first start signal, the first shut-down signal, the inflation signal and the deflation signal. The vibration signal of the vibration device is determined according to the vibration frequency, and the second start signal and the second shut-down signal of the multiple vibrators are generated by the second switch timing. The vibrator is driven by the second start signal and the second shut-down signal, so that the vibrator adjusts the second massage function so that the second massage function and the first massage function work together, thereby achieving a synergistic effect between the air bag and the vibrator.

[0059] In one embodiment, a first drive signal is generated according to an inflation signal and a deflation signal, a first start signal and a first shutdown signal, and the first drive signal drives the airbag device to work. The inflation signal and the deflation signal are used to inflate and deflate the airbag, and the first start signal and the first shutdown signal are used to control the inflation and deflation time of the airbag, as well as the start and movement of the airbags to achieve different massage modes and strengths. The first drive signal also includes: a pressure signal, which is used to detect the pressure change in the airbag to ensure the precise control of the inflation and deflation of the airbag, and a position signal, which is used to detect the position change of the airbag through a sensor to ensure the accuracy of the airbag device in achieving the first massage function.

[0060] In a real-time example, a second drive signal is generated according to a second start signal, a second shutdown signal and a vibration signal, and the second drive signal drives the vibration device to work. Among them, the vibration signal is used to detect the vibration change in the vibrator to ensure the accurate control of the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrator. The second start signal and the second shutdown signal are used to determine the second massage duration of the vibration of each vibrator, and the corresponding start-up position of each vibrator, so as to ensure the accuracy of the air bag device to achieve the second massage function that cooperates with the first massage work.

[0061] In the above embodiment, the massage instruction is converted into a first control signal and a second control signal. The airbag device is driven by the first control signal, and the vibration device is driven by the second control signal. Since the airbag device and the vibration device have independent control signals, the airbag device and the vibration device are driven separately, and the airbag device and the vibration device work separately. When only the airbag device is driven, the airbag device only provides massage services, and when only the vibration device is provided, the vibration device only provides tapping services. When the airbag device and the vibration device are driven at the same time, vibration and tapping services can be realized at the same time.

[0062] In one embodiment, the target massage function includes: a music therapy function. When the target massage function is a music therapy function, the method for obtaining the vibration frequency includes: determining the target music corresponding to the music therapy function; extracting the bass segment of the target music, and determining the audio signal corresponding to the bass segment; amplifying the audio signal to obtain the vibration frequency.

[0063] The music therapy function is to convert the rhythmic information contained in the target music into the massage parameters of the vibration device. The rhythmic information contained in the music can be understood as a combination of beats, which is the relationship between the length of the sound organized by strength. Through the rhythmic information, the vibration frequency of each vibrator is determined to achieve the synchronous rhythm of the vibrator and the target music.

[0064] In one embodiment, the vibration frequency is a preset fixed vibration frequency.

[0065] In this embodiment, the target massage function is a non-music therapy function. In the non-music therapy function, the vibrator vibrates according to the vibration frequency of the preset massage function. In the music therapy function, the vibrator vibrates according to the target music of the music therapy, so that the vibrator follows the rhythm of the music to provide the user with a tapping function to complete the music therapy. Through the dual-mode switching of the music therapy function and the non-music therapy function, the organic combination of physical massage and art therapy is realized. In the non-music mode, a fixed frequency is used to precisely intervene in physiological symptoms such as muscle fatigue and blood circulation. In the music mode, the vibration frequency corresponding to the rhythmic information is used. The frequency coupling of sound waves and mechanical waves is realized to form multi-sensory synergistic stimulation.
